Instead, Federal has become one of the most well-known ammunition manufacturers on the market, but that didn't happen without struggle. In 1920, as the result of multiple internal issues, the company had to shut down until 1922, when it was bought by Charles L. Horn, who built the brand into what it is today. Horn promoted his product by selling and distributing at gas stations, grocery stores and barber shops. He continued this aggressive marketing approach for the next two decades, which paid off in 1941, when he was awarded an $87 million contract to provide the U.S. government with ammunition for the war. Federal continued to produce ammunition for the government through the latter decades of the 1900s, supplying ammo for troops fighting in World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam Conflict. Growing steadily and expanding dramatically in the 50s and 60s, it wasn't until 1963 that Federal began producing centerfire ammunition for rifles and pistols. They continued to manufacture their high-quality shotgun shells and brought wins for competitive shooters, creating lifelong customers. Horn retired in 1977, and turned management of the company over to his son, William, who continued to grow the company with unrelenting marketing efforts, introducing the Premium line of ammunition for rifles and shotguns. Federal Premium Ammunition still operates a plant in Anoka, Minnesota, where they employ nearly 1,000 people and produce the entire Federal line of ammunition for rifles, pistols, shotguns and rimfire weapons. They continue to make the popular Hydra-Shok pistol ammo here, as well as rifle ammunition topped with Nosler and Sierra bullets. Federal is an ongoing innovator, introducing its new Guard Dog ammo for handguns, V-shock ammo for rifles, and Black Cloud shells for shotgun. Federal Premium will undoubtedly continue to produce their high-quality ammunition for many years to come. Check out today's best ammo deals by visiting us at Ammo.com. Follow us on social media.

Another bigmouth youtuber pinning their own comments that could have just went in the description. I want to see guns and ammo information. I don't give a crap who you are. Stop making it about you, big mouth.
You have no idea how happy i was to find this channel!! I was wanting to research a company to stick with for the rest of my shooting days and this will save me so much time
Interesting that you don't bother to mention that Federal is now owned by Vista Outdoors along with CCI/Speer and both plants produce the Federal and CCI, Speer, Blazer, Estate, Independence, American Eagle brands.
